I really hadn't thought about much of this at all, but you are TOTALLY RIGHT. We've been patting Derek on the head and saying never mind, boo whenever he does something awful, because he's so damaged and fandom feels bad for him (plus his hotness makes us apologists), but YES! When he bit Erica it full-on skeeved me out, but I just put it down to uneven characterisation and chose to ignore the sketchiness. He just keeps on making villainous choices. And if Matt and kid!Peter were the other two of my three red lights this season (discounting Mr Lahey, because I think that's pretty clear cut) then maybe Derek is actually doing a Lex Luthor arc a la Smallville, rather than a Spike/Angel arc a la Buffy. D:
I would be really interested to see what Mr Stilinski makes of Derek, armed with all of the facts.
And I will give you A MILLION IMAGINARY DOLLARS if you write some Canon Derek/Fanon Derek redemption fic.
